Welcome to the Boom Boom Performance Podcast, your resource for science-based training and nutrition,

data-driven coaching, and education-focused content. Before we get into this podcast, I just want to say

thank you for taking the time to listen and learn with me so that you can apply what you are

about to learn, take my strategies, use these tools, and finally

have some serious methods to see sustainable success with your physique, your mind, and your life.

This podcast was built on the foundation of applied education, and I'm excited for you to be here

so you can have that experience with me. Now, without any further ado, let's get on to the show.

Today's Monday motivation.

I'm going to tell a little story and some lessons outside of that story.

It's a traumatic story.

It's a story I actually just shared on my Instagram.

I don't really talk about very often. I haven't talked about in a long time. But I think it's

really valuable if you take away the right lessons from it. So this is going to be a quick one.

I'm going to go through the story. And then I'm just going to leave you with three or four things

to kind of take into your journal, take into your meditation, take into your life, take into whatever you use as a vehicle for

reflection, and then you can apply it to your life and start to really go through your own life

and try to apply what I'm about to tell you.

So I think I was 20 years old.

It was about eight years ago.

And I was at a party.

And I knew one person at this party.

I don't know why.
